Luca Modrici, who broke the decade of football star Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the ballroom and had Baldor in his arms, voiced his absence on the awards ceremony.

"I can not say why someone did not come to the awards, they are their choice," he said, "it does not make sense," he said in an interview with his daily Croatian daily.

"For them, these votes and the awards are only meaningful when they ride."

"It's unfair to fellow players and voters, as well as football fans and fans, who have nominated them for the past 10 years," he said. "But they will act on their own."

Roger Federer, who won the European Champions League in Real Madrid and Croatia's runner-up to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, won the highest honor at the Ballon d'Or award ceremony in Paris on Friday.

Ronaldo and Messi, who had five rounds of Ballon d'Or in the last 10 years, were second and fifth respectively in the poll, but did not attend the awards ceremony.

Ronaldo and Messi were the wonderful players who dominated the past 10 years, but here we are talking about the overall performance of the season. "The results of the national team coaches, football legends, press and fellow players were the same It is meaningful. "
